Magnolias and pine

This is at the southeast corner of Lambert Fieldhouse on Purdue campus.

Magnolia grandiflora is at the left. Red pine (Pinus resinosa) is on the right. To the rear is a star magnolia (Magnolia stellata), nearly hidden by the big magnolia.

Blossoms of the star magnolia.

The tepals of the magnolia blossoms are just a little bit browned from frost damage.

Revision Dec. 19, 2009: That is likely not Magnolia grandiflora but rather the Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia x soulangiana). The saucer magnolia is more cold tolerant than Magnolia grandiflora and is planted more widely in Indiana.
